tuning
Calibrating an instrument
Tuning is the process of adjusting something to optimal performance.
Musicians tune instruments to correct pitch: The orchestra spent ten minutes tuning before the concert.
Mechanics tune engines for better performance.
In broadcasting, tuning means selecting a frequency: tuning the radio to a different station.
To tune in is to watch or listen; to tune out is to stop paying attention.
Fine-tuning involves small, precise adjustments.
In machine learning, tuning adjusts model parameters to improve results.
